I've replaced the trans now with a custom VW unit with much taller cogs, so I'm hoping for better numbers this year. Still want to do some aero mods, air dam, front pan tray, and eventually four wheel skirts, like this --
I just ran across this info
Groe Cw-Werte-Sammlung von Autos und ... zum Mitmachen

I thought the 0.39 didn't sound right and frankly those Cd values don't mean much but the CdA values (in the link they are labeled as cw and cw*F)

"Porsche 356/2 Gmünd Coupé u. Cabrio 1948-1950 0,29 1,62 0,469"

Cd: 0.29
Front Area: 1.62
CdA: 0.469
